Kind of the same question actually... I'm looking at a recipe for a hand balm. It's about half almond oil and half apricot kernel oil along with some butters and beeswax. I've got everything except the apricot kernel oil. I was looking at the properties of it and it seems like either grapeseed or sesame might offer some of the same properties. I've got both. However, (this is the "what's the deal" part), the sesame oil is just plain-old asian cooking oil and smells very much like sesame oil.
So I've got 2 questions: what would make a good replacement for the apricot kernel oil and should I not plan on using sesame oil from the supermarket for my body products?
By the way, I've also got Evening Primrose oil, walnut oil, pecan oil, jojoba and caster oil. Well, also the basic - olive, canola, liquid soybean (aka Wesson), coconut.
